I used to unwind the wire tags that labeled the crates of vegetables and took the fine brass and steel wires and braided and twisted them together to make bracelets, rings, and figures.
All my wire sculptures come from the same loop. And there's only one way to do it. The idea is to do it simply, and you end up with a shape.
An artist is not special. An artist is an ordinary person who can take ordinary things and make them special.
I laugh with the sun, and mist that tries so hard to seduce the mountains.
Sometimes good comes through adversity. I would not be who I am today had it not been for the internment, and I like who I am.
We used to make patterns in the dirt, hanging our feet off the horse-drawn farm equipment. We made endless hourglass figures that I now see as the forms within forms in my crocheted wire sculptures.
